PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Mind that there is a hidden trait in this property that is not easy to notice and potentially the current buyers haven't spotted. Don't expect me to reveal it in a public forum though (sorry).
    I'm not asking for details, but... in general, what do you mean by "a trait"?

    Are you thinking it's something that could markedly affect value? Or is it just a "Ooh, that's nice."?

    It's something that could markedly affect value.

    And who are "the current buyers", as you haven't mentioned any other interest?

    I have been informed by the agency there have been some offers "circulating" but can't cross check the facts.

    Does it matter? It doesn't affect how much you're willing to offer. It doesn't affect anything you can do about whether your offer gets accepted or not, or whether you get gazumped or not.
